"It would have been impossible for us to stay afloat if Tony hadn't been able to consistently perform the way he has," general manager Chris Wallace said.



One of OSU's Greats. Making a name for himself as a defensive genius !!!

Man, I really miss Tony's toughness and presence playing for us. The guy deserves every accolade that is said about him.

Good article, but it's from last season (April 2011).

Off topic, but it's nice to see a NBA player not all tatted up

Good article, but it's from last month (Feb 2012).




I hope Tony leads them back to the playoffs again this season.

There are 11 NBA teams that have above a .500 record in their last 10 games and 4 of them are in Southwest Division of the Western Conference! It's the only division with 4 teams sitting at 20 wins or more to date.

He's a beast. Probabaly one of the top 5 defenders in the NBA.

I heard an interview yesterday on Espn 103.3 with Chris Vernon about Tony and it was very much the same thing over and over again. "He's an incredible force on the team. He plays every minute like it could be his last".

He also knocked OJ Mayo around some. Big plus in my book.

He's not the best athlete in regards to basketball on the team.

But his enthusiasm for the game and his focus on playing hard and especially his focus on how important defense is to winning games feeds over to the other players on the team.

Tony is fun on twitter

More like annoying, LOL. I've almost un-followed him a few times.

He does tweet every thought he has, at times, but he seems very genuine and I like that about him.

You gotta pay the man!!! He'll take it one way or the other!!!
